A perfect day with a setting sun and beautiful model, my daughter.
[Jan. 6th, 2012 09:41:48 PM]
Received some good comments and I agree with the criticism. I had several photos of my daughter to choose from and well, I chose the wrong one as usual per my lovely wife. This was taken with beautiful late afternoon light and I felt like I had to include some of the beautiful blue sky in the shot. I'll post a better rendering in the post challenge outtakes.

Don, It's good to see you back around here...
This is an amazing image. The wonderful light, nice blue skies and, of course, a beautiful model so expressive! Totally underrated and should be in the front page, imo - got a 9 from me. Just trying to guess why the score wasn't higher, maybe the oof trees and branches are still too proeminent, distracting from the subject.
Hard to resist that light, ain't it? I've been known to drag my kids, unannounced, into the backyard at such times. Really nice. I like the low point of view too.
Probably it's just my taste, but I feel a much tigher crop could have worked better in giving her more presence. Or perhaps just a framing which would leave some space on the right for her to gaze through. But probably it's just me.
nice lighting, composition, model and sky well done excellent warm pretty shot :) maybe a little more definition on the cardy would have made it perfect 8
